Edward Kearny, New York City

Not much is known about this publisher. He lived his entire life (1812-1897) in New York City. The firm was active from at least 1839-1848. He succeeded C. Wells, another not very well known publisher. After Kearny left the publishing business, he was involved with real estate.

J. P. Giffing who succeeded S. Colman was located at the same Gold Street address in 1840-1841 and published four books from the "Mother's Library" at that time. The relationship between Giffing and Kearny is unknown.
